In a Nutshell, We purchased Forta's CFX_Spell tag and wrote a UI for it. Tested it with no problem. Then we moved it to our Production machine which is running CF 4.01 on Windows NT 4. (Before you say upgrade to CF5 or MX, Let me just state that this box houses a business critical app that runs fine under cf4.01 and we have not wanted to upgrade just yet.) When we moved it to Production and the user's started hitting the dll, the tag stopped working. After doing some better research I learned the CFX tag was not multi-thread safe and it was suggested to add <cflock> around the tag to force it to be single threaded. Did that and added <cftry><cfcatch> logic around the cfx tag. I have included the logic below. Anyway, The additional logic caused something strange to happen. The Server Seemed to loose all session/Application variables and Would not allow access to any CFM pages only .html pages. We immediately shut off access to the dll and all code touching it. I sent numerous emails to forta, but have not gotten a response. Has anyone else experienced these problems? any resolutions/ suggestions on how to get this to work? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here is the code used: <cftry> <cflock name="spellock" timeout="20" throwontimeout="Yes"> <CFX_SPELL TEXT="#Form.CommentBox#" name="spell" LANGUAGE="#language#"> </cflock> <cfcatch type="ALL"> <cflocation url="Update_review.cfm" addtoken="NO"> </cfcatch> </cftry> ~Rich :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Rich Sloan Coldfusion Web Developer Follett Corporation-CTG 2233 West St. -River Grove, IL 60171 <P> 708.437.2360 <E> [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.follett.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists&body=lists/cf_talk FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Your ad could be here.
